There's been talk on the internet recently discussing which city is the worlds 'Financial Capital'. I would say this is a fairly popular topic, given the state the world economy is in at the moment. Basically, all it means is which city has most influence on the world economy? Discuss and vote here
Edit: Can't seem the find poll option :S

America, hence why most recessions are due to their incompetence e.g. now and the wall street crash.

London, for Europe anyway. Could be New York, I dunno tbh.

I'm with our Virgin here, if the economy ever crashes, it's down to America so they must be the financial super power to be able to mess up everything so easily.

Well...
London was (unoficially) labelled the financial capital of the world, mainly due to its convenient time zones which catch trading with global economies throughout the day.
According to london.gov.uk:
- The London foreign exchange market is the largest in the world, with an average daily turnover of $504 billion, more than the New York and Tokyo combined.
- Along with The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development there are more than 550 international banks and 170 global securities houses have set up offices in London. By contrast Frankfurt has around 280, Paris, 270 and New York 250.
- London is the banking centre of the world.
